In case of buggy firmware, brcmfmac may perform a hardware reset. If during
reset and subsequent probing an early failure occurs, a memory region is
accidentally double-freed. With hardened memory allocation enabled, this error
will be detected.

- return early where appropriate to skip unnecessary clean-up.
- set '.freezer' pointer to NULL to prevent double-freeing under possible
   other circumstances and to re-align result under various different
   behaviors of memory allocation freeing.
- correctly claim host on func1 for disabling func2.
- after reset, do not initiate probing immediately, but rely on events.

Given a firmware crash, function 'brcmf_sdio_bus_reset' is called. It calls
'brcmf_sdiod_remove', then follows up with 'brcmf_sdiod_probe' to reinitialize
the hardware. If 'brcmf_sdiod_probe' fails to "set F1 blocksize", it exits
early, which includes calling 'brcmf_sdiod_remove'. In both cases
'brcmf_sdiod_freezer_detach' is called to free allocated '.freezer', which
has not yet been re-allocated the second time.
